Prospect Roundup August 14th Games: Baz and Kirilloff

Shane Baz (Bristol 2018; Princeton 2018) and Alex Kirilloff (Elizabethton 2016) were standout prospects on Wednesday.

Rays RHP Shane Baz, Class A Bowling Green: 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K -- On the one-year anniversary of his acquisition from Pittsburgh, the Rays' No. 6 prospect produced his first scoreless start in nearly two months. Baz gave up a double, two singles and two walks, lowering his ERA to 3.10 in 14 starts. He would rank sixth in the Midwest League with a .216 opponents' batting average if he had enough innings to qualify. 
Twins RF Alex Kirilloff, Double-A Pensacola: 3-for-5, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 2 R -- The second-ranked Minnesota prospect homered and drove in two runs on a three-night to up his average to .273, good for 11th in the Southern League. MLB.com's No. 16 overall prospect has hit safely in 10 of the last 12 games and is batting .283 with four homers and 13 RBIs in 11 games in August. Twins No. 5 prospect Trevor Larnach also had three hits, driving in one run and scoring another for the Blue Wahoos.
